We describe a phase plate for transmission electron microscopy taking advantage of a
hitherto-unknown phenomenon, namely a beam-induced Volta potential on the surface of a …

Phase-plate cryo-EM structure of a class B GPCR–G-protein complex

…, SGB Furness, G Christopoulos, T Coudrat, R Danev… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Class B G-protein-coupled receptors are major targets for the treatment of chronic diseases,
such as osteoporosis, diabetes and obesity. Here we report the structure of a full-length …

Phase contrast electron microscopy: development of thin-film phase plates and biological applications

K Nagayama, R Danev - Philosophical Transactions of …, 2008 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Phase contrast transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based on thin-film phase plates has
